User:Hakelover

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, I'm Hakelover but I usually go by Hake. I'm a new editor on Wikipedia so if I make a mistake feel free to point it out. I mostly tend to focus on pointing out articles that lack sourcing and neutrality. I tend to most frequently edit English pages but I do at times correct Danish ones. I also do light translation work for pages which are clearly written in a more robust manner in another language.


I enjoy reading and writing about social science and history but I myself have no degree within these fields. Everything I write is driven purely by these subjects being of interest to me.


I don't mind if my page is edited by other user, all ask is that you remain respectful in doing so.

Coconut
The coconut (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the palm tree family, Arecaceae. Originally native to the Central Indo-Pacific, in the regions of Maritime Southeast Asia and Melanesia, coconuts are now found across the world due to human cultivation and dispersal. They are normally cultivated in hot and wet tropical climates. The term coconut also commonly refers to the seed and fruit of the coconut tree, which is botanically a drupe. The fruit has three layers including an edible white, fleshy endosperm and is filled with a liquid known as coconut water. The coconut thus played a critical role in the migration of Austronesian peoples across the Indian Ocean, as it provided a portable source of both food and water for long sea voyages. In modern times coconuts are used extensively in cooking and cuisine, using the raw flesh, the water or in alternative forms such as coconut milk and coconut butter. These coconuts, one whole and one halved, were grown in the Dominican Republic; this photograph was focus-stacked from 19 separate images.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus
